You have to believe it before you see it.
                                              Jeremiah Say

Be so good they can’t ignore you.

“The Voice” Biff Gore Performing at Summit – Oct 18 - 19 
This video shows the performance where Denver-based Biff Gore had all four judges turn on The Voice. Bringing us back from breaks and closing out each day, Biff will share his soulful talent throughout the Scaling Up Summit in the beautiful Denver Center for Performing Arts.

Anthony Hopkins -- Believe, Believe, Believe 
Renowned actor Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs, etc.) shares a powerful two-minutes on the power of belief, conveyed in a way only someone of his skill can deliver! I know I’m late to the party sharing this, but a nice back-to-school reminder for your children and a boost for your team going into the last four months of the year (with all the craziness going on!)

Adam Grant -- Leaders, Repeat Yourself a Lot!!
Like Anthony above (Believe, Believe, Believe), uber psychology prof Adam Grant notes in his latest article: “It’s better to overcommunicate and sound redundant than to under-communicate and seem unclear and uncaring.” In short, it’s hard for you to overdo it with most leaders way underperforming. Please take 2-minutes to scan his always insightful post. What is your message/vision/priority you need to share with your team going into these final four months? Repeat it, in some way, every day/week – and always in your weekly message out to the entire firm (you are doing this?).

Resentment – How to Cure Quickly 
Ripped off, lied to, cheated, maligned, abused – it can generate resentment within your soul. Perennial favorite speaker at our Scaling Up Summits, Rabbi Stephen Baars released last week an impactful 7-minute video that provides an unusual perspective that just might end your debilitating resentment forever.

Planning to Exit?
It’s the most critical decision a business owner will make in their lifetime – and over my 40 years of helping firms, I’ve seen owners taken advantage of time and time again – leaving tens of millions on the table. You’re up against sophisticated buyers who have done hundreds of acquisitions – whereas this is often your first rodeo. And these buyers have a formula for ripping you off – and it works. Seeking help, owners find the big M&A firms, especially those specializing in your industry, are more beholden to the buyers than the sellers (they will tell you otherwise). They are not your friend in the process, just another transaction. Email me to get a white paper on what to avoid when exiting verne@scalingup.com.
